Abstract

Doxepin (3‐dibenz [b,e] oxepin ‐ 11(6H) ‐ ylidene ‐ N,N ‐ dimethyl ‐ 1 ‐ propanamine), a potent H1 histamine antagonist, was labeled with 11C‐iodomethane by N‐alkylation of normethyldoxepin. The synthesis, purification, and formulation were performed in approximately 20 minutes with an average specific activity of 1630 mCi/μmol (EOS).
